Submission + - 80 Gbps Deep Packet Inspection Hardware announced (arstechnica.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Bittorrent take note: Procera Networks will announce today a new standard in deep packet inspection (DPI) gear: an 80Gbps monster called the PacketLogic PL10000 that is targeted at tier-1 network operators. At up to $800,000 a unit, these aren't cheap, but when you want to throttle, inspect, and shape traffic in real-time on a major network, this is now the fastest thing on the market (and by a large margin).
The PL10000 can handle up to 5 million subscribers and can track 48 million real-time data flows. The PL10000 can do this at 80Gbps with 96 percent accuracy.
Looks like more money being wasted by ISPs that could have been used for boosting the network.
